Impressions taken from this plate  (12)
Etching: PE23_01 (plate)
The copper plate is close in size to several etchings including Children's Fruit Barrow [347], Woman sleeping in a chair [401], Hôtel de la Promenade, Loches [415], Market Women: Turkeys [424], Mrs J. Birnie Philip [479] and Marchande de Vin, Ajaccio [485], and all bear the same maker's mark on the verso, the oval stamp of 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' These plates range in date from 1887-1901.
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death and was bequeathed to Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), who gave it to the University of Glasgow in 1935. It was cancelled posthumously with a diagonal line.
